Cassius

I was on my throne and he was on his knees.

Lorien—gods, it was him. His mouth was stretched around my cock, eyes glassy, cheeks flushed, his hands digging into my thighs like he was starving and I was the only thing he’d ever craved. My hand tangled in his hair, yanking his head back just to see that look of devotion—of complete surrender.

But then—

Click.

A gun was pressed to his temple.

His eyes widened. He whispered my name, mouth trembling.

And I—I froze.

******

I woke up with a ragged gasp, bolting upright in bed, drenched in sweat and breathing like I’d run a damn marathon.

“What the f—”

I rubbed a hand down my face, clenching my jaw so tightly I thought it might crack.

“Ridiculous,” I growled to myself, throwing the covers off.

What kind of fucked up dream was that? And why the hell was it him?

Lorien Vale.

The one I rejected. The one I crushed.

The one I—

No.

I wasn’t going there. Not again.

But still… my heart wouldn’t slow. That dream—it had felt real. Too real. The

    CassiusI stayed by his side, clutching my father’s hand like I could will strength back into his body. His skin felt papery, cool. Nothing like the man I’d grown up fearing—and respecting.Alpha Corbin Blackwood was no ordinary wolf. He was a legend. My benchmark. The reason I trained until I bled and clawed for every ounce of dominance I had.And now he looked… breakable.“I’m not ready to let you go,” I whispered under my breath.Before I could say more, Julian’s voice cut in from the doorway.“You should let him rest, Cassius. His vitals are unstable. Every second counts.”I didn’t even look back. “And if he dies while resting? Will that make you feel better?”Julian’s jaw ticked. “That’s not what I meant.”My father’s voice, gravelly and low, beat both of ours.“No.” He coughed harshly, crimson streaking the corner of his mouth. “I need to speak with my son. Now.”Julian opened his mouth again, likely to insist otherwise, but I beat him to it.“He said he wants to speak to me. Al

    I regretted snapping at Alpha Matthias the moment the words left my mouth.“You could have told me from the beginning,” I had said, sharper than I meant to. “Instead, you let me stay here not knowing—what you really are.”Now I stood there, stiff, arms crossed in front of me like a barrier, as if I could protect myself with posture alone.Matthias didn’t react like I expected. No growl. No barked command to bow my head. He just studied me, head tilted slightly, like I was some kind of puzzle he hadn’t quite figured out yet.“I didn’t lie to you,” he said at last. His voice was calm. Measured. But there was a tension there. A warning hidden between syllables. “I told you this was a place for wolves who wanted a new chance. I never said it would be easy.”I swallowed hard. “A mafia?”“We protect our own. We don’t follow weak laws made by alphas who’ve forgotten what it means to have teeth.” His gaze darkened. “But we’re not monsters, Lorien. You haven’t been dragged into some nightmare.

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Misunderstood Intentions

    LorienI froze. My breath caught in my throat as the guard stepped into my path.Had he heard? The conversation I’d just had with the doctor… the words we’d exchanged, the secret that had clung to the air like smoke—had he been listening?My heart began to pound wildly. The overwhelming rush of panic took hold, and I felt the sudden chill of dread seeping into my bones. My mind spiraled through every sentence I’d spoken inside that room. The plans. The vulnerability. The weight of the information that only a few, like the doctor, knew. And now, this guard. My pulse quickened as he tilted his head, his sneer cutting through the air like a blade. "I’m talking to you, idiot!"I flinched. His voice cracked through me like a whip, shattering the fragile stillness around us.My chest tightened, an unbearable pressure building in my throat. For a split second, I wasn’t standing here, outside the hospital, facing this guard. No, I was somewhere else. Somewhere much darker. Blood Fang Pack.

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   What Haunts Me

    Cassius’s POVThe scent of stone, incense, and soil clung to my skin long after I’d left the tomb.I stumbled out of the dark crypt like a man drunk, barely hearing the elders behind me as they whispered their condolences. I didn’t want their words. I didn’t want their hands on my shoulder. I didn’t want anything except to be left alone.The walk back to the packhouse was a blur. Every breath of cold morning air stung like ice on my lungs, but it didn’t chase the heat building under my skin. My fingers trembled. My teeth clenched. I felt unsteady—as if my body was no longer my own.Because the dream hadn’t left me.Because his voice still echoed in my head.I slammed the door of my bedroom behind me and headed straight for the shower. Steam filled the space quickly, fogging up the mirrors and wrapping around me like a ghost I couldn’t escape.The water was scalding, but it didn’t burn enough.Lorien. Again. In my damn dreams.I had woken up hard—so hard it made me sick. My fists clenc

    CassiusI stormed down the corridor, my mind still buzzing with frustration. But no matter how fast I moved, Julian’s face wouldn’t leave me. His expression, tight-lipped and strained, followed me like a shadow.“Cassius… Your grip.”I froze in my tracks, the memory of his voice echoing in my head. I could still feel it—his wrist beneath my fingers, the way I had gripped it too tightly. I could still see the flash of discomfort in his eyes, and I knew in that instant I had hurt him.I cursed under my breath.Shit, Julian...I could almost feel my fingers on his skin again, the way they had dug into him without warning, the pressure too harsh, too sharp. I hadn’t meant to hurt him. I hadn’t meant to do any of this. But I had been so goddamn angry, so overwhelmed by everything crashing around me. I couldn’t control it. I couldn’t control myself.I remembered how quickly I had released him, like my hands had been burned. The guilt twisted in my gut the moment I realized what I had done.

    LorienThe night was suffocatingly quiet, save for the soft rustle of the trees outside and the gentle hum of the wind. I lay still in my bed, staring out the window at the pitch-black sky. The room was dark, the only light coming from the faint glow of the moon that was hidden behind the clouds. My thoughts drifted as I listened to the sounds of the night—the occasional rustle of leaves, the distant howl of a wolf. But something else broke the stillness.A strange, almost imperceptible sound.I froze, my heart skipping a beat. It came again—faint but deliberate, like a low scraping noise, the kind you only hear when something is moving just outside your reach. My senses immediately heightened, and a wave of unease crawled up my spine.I stood up quietly, careful not to disturb Kieran who was sleeping nearby, his rhythmic breathing the only sign of life beside me. I glanced back at him briefly, my chest tightening. I hated disturbing him. After everything we had been through together,

    LorienI had never been so terrified in my life.I sat there, heart racing, looking at Matthias who seemed to have just dropped a bombshell that I couldn’t quite process. His eyes were dark, unreadable, but there was a flicker of something there, something that both terrified and confused me. “How long, Lorien?” he asked, his voice low, but somehow unwavering. “How long have you been hiding it?”I could barely breathe. The word pregnant echoed in my mind, rattling around, refusing to settle. Pregnant? How could that even be possible? I shook my head, trying to clear the fog in my brain.“Pregnant?” I let out a nervous laugh, trying to keep my voice steady. "A man can’t get pregnant."The tension in the room thickened immediately, the air going still. My nervous chuckle faltered as I saw the expression on Matthias’s face shift. His lips pressed into a thin line, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing up and crossing the space between us. I didn’t even have time to react before he

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Cracks Beneath the Surface

    CassiusI couldn’t shake the irritation clawing at me as I stood outside the pack hospital room. Something wasn’t right, and I knew it. Isabella—a woman who was supposed to be as strong as the Alpha blood coursing through her veins—had supposedly fallen down the stairs and hit her head? That didn’t sit well with me. A woman like her didn’t just “trip.” If she was truly an Alpha’s daughter, she was supposed to be made of tougher stuff. But here I was, pacing the hallway like a fool, still not believing the doctor’s words.Julian stepped up beside me, his usual smirk in place. “What’s going through your head?” he asked, leaning casually against the wall.I didn’t even look at him. “I don’t buy it,” I muttered. “An Alpha’s daughter doesn’t fall down the stairs. That’s weak, Julian.”He didn’t argue with me, just tilted his head slightly, as if to remind me he could see right through me. “You’re right. But that’s not what’s bothering you, is it?”I shot him a glance, annoyed that he was

    LorienThere was a smell—faint antiseptic and lavender. A dim light above. My eyelids were heavy, and my limbs heavier. My mouth was dry, and my mind clouded, like I’d just been pulled from underwater.And then I remembered.My stomach.My hand shot down, trembling. The gown was thin, and under it, I felt… flat.Empty.“No, no, no—” My voice came out hoarse. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain burst through my ribs. My vision spun, stars dancing before my eyes. I slumped back down, gasping.Where were they? Where were they?“Help!” I rasped, my throat raw. “Someone—please!”The door flew open. The doctor rushed in, followed by someone I didn’t recognize. A woman in dark robes, strange symbols stitched in silver on the hem. Her hair was white as snow, her eyes a piercing silver that didn’t look quite human.“Lorien, calm down,” the doctor said softly, coming to my side. “You’re safe. You’re in the clinic.”“Where are they?” I croaked. “My babies. Where are they?”“They’re alive,” the w

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Fire and Smoke

    MatthiasThe bitter taste of smoke filled my lungs, and for once, it wasn’t the kind I craved.I exhaled slowly, watching the curling stream rise in lazy spirals above my head. The stick between my fingers was carved from dark mahogany, inlaid with tiny silver runes. My personal piece—custom-made, enchanted to preserve the burn longer. Only the finest for Alpha Matthias Delacroix.And yet today, it tasted like ash.“Damn it,” I muttered, grinding my teeth. I flicked the ash into the crystal tray beside the velvet armchair and leaned back, the weight of fury anchoring me deeper into the cushions. The weed barely tempered the fire in my blood. It coiled in my chest, tighter with every passing second.Four months. Four goddamn months of planning.Gone.Burned to hell like dry parchment in a wildfire.I wanted blood. I wanted to rip something apart with my bare hands—tear skin from bone, shred muscle, hear the satisfying crunch of cartilage under pressure.No—better. I wanted Cassius.His

    Lorien The forest was quiet, too quiet. Only the sound of our frantic footsteps broke through the snow-blanketed silence. My breath came in broken gasps, sharp and painful, fogging the air in front of me. Kieran had one arm around my waist, half-dragging, half-carrying me, his steps firm despite the terrain.My legs were barely holding me upright.“Keep going, Lorien,” he whispered fiercely, sweat glistening on his forehead despite the cold. “We’re almost there.”But I couldn’t.Every step was a war, every breath a loss. Pain tore through my abdomen again—sharp, fiery, like claws shredding me from the inside. I winced, almost doubling over.Behind us, the wolves that had been pursuing us weren’t far.“They’re close!” one of our escorts snapped in a whisper, ears twitching.I clenched my jaw. “No. Stop. You need to leave me behind. Kieran—listen to me—we’re slowing you down. Go back. Get Matthias. He’ll know what to do—”“Lorien, shut the hell up,” Kieran growled, not looking at me. “

    CassiusThe glass in my hand trembled, amber liquid sloshing dangerously near the rim.I paced.The room was dim, save for the firelight flickering along the stone walls. My shadows stretched tall and twitchy, like they couldn’t decide if they wanted to follow or flee from me. I took another sip—sharp, burning. It didn’t help.Nothing ever did.“I told her we’d do it tonight,” I muttered under my breath. “That I’d finally take her to bed.”I could still see Isabella’s expectant smile from earlier, her painted lips, her perfectly arranged hair. She was beautiful, but cold in a way that made my skin crawl sometimes.I had smiled at her. Lied.A promise made in desperation.A memory returned like bile—red, hot, and impossible to hold back.The night I got the news that Lorien was dead.I hadn’t even changed out of my bloodied clothes. I’d walked right into her room, still reeking of violence and grief, and kissed her like I could bleed the pain out of my mouth.She let me. She wanted it.

    LorienThe air reeked of damp pine and bitter moss by the time I returned to the shack, the scent clinging to my skin like a second layer of guilt. The trees loomed like silent sentinels around us, and the moon hung low, barely cutting through the dense clouds. The forest felt different now—sharper, colder—as if it knew what we were about to do.I pushed through the shack’s crooked door and stepped inside. The lanterns were already lit, casting long, distorted shadows across the walls. My team was busy—maps unfolded, equipment sprawled across the dusty floor, radio frequencies crackling faintly. They were setting up. Getting ready.No one looked at me.Not at first.Then Kieran turned.“Out. Now,” he snapped, grabbing my arm and pulling me outside before I could blink.His grip was firm, fingers digging into my jacket like claws. We stood just outside the cabin where the dark wrapped around us like a noose. His voice dropped into a low snarl. “What the hell was that, Lorien?”I yanked

    ZuriaThe silence in the hospital was deafening.Each tick of the clock on the wall echoed like thunder in my ears. My fingers trembled in my lap, clenched so tightly my knuckles turned white. The smell of antiseptic made my stomach churn—not with nausea, but dread.Danny had driven like a man possessed, ignoring traffic lights, muttering prayers under his breath. I had never seen him like that. And now, he sat somewhere outside this room while I sat on the edge of a cold hospital bed, waiting to hear if the worst had already happened.My mind wouldn’t stop racing. What if I’d already lost them? What if the bleeding meant they were gone and there was nothing left inside me but emptiness? My babies. The ones I had once tried to ignore, to forget about. But now the thought of losing them felt like someone was tearing open my chest.Please, just let them be okay. I didn’t mean to be careless. I didn’t mean to hurt them. Hot tears blurred my vision. I couldn’t breathe.I had told myself

    LorienThe air was thick with tension, the scent of metal, dust, and forest clinging to everything like a second skin. Seven men stood silently behind me, their boots crunching against the gravel in almost perfect unison as they adjusted their weapons. The weight of my own gun pressed against the small of my back beneath my coat, cold and familiar. My fingers twitched toward it instinctively, though I made no move to draw it. Not yet.I shifted slightly, wincing when a sharp ache spread through my lower back. I rubbed at it absentmindedly, then glanced down—my coat hung a little awkwardly over the slight but unmistakable curve of my stomach. Six months. I hadn’t been able to hide it for weeks now, no matter how hard I tried. Not that I owed anyone an explanation. Not anymore.A shadow flickered in the doorway ahead. My breath hitched. Then, he stepped out.Alpha Mathias.Even now, after everything, my body reacted to the sight of him with a frustrating kind of treachery. My muscles te

    LorienMatthias’s grip on my waist tightened, pulling me back to him, and I could feel every inch of his chest pressed against my back. My breath hitched, and the world seemed to narrow to the space between us, the heat of his body seeping into mine. I should pull away, tell him to stop, but the words lodged in my throat, too heavy to be spoken. “You’re avoiding me,” he murmured, his breath warm against my ear, his voice so low it almost seemed like a confession. His hands slid around to my front, slowly sliding up my stomach, pulling me even closer.“I’m not avoiding you,” I answered, my voice flat, almost as if I were trying to convince myself more than him. “I’m fine.”“You don’t look fine.” His tone was patient, like he was studying me, piecing together some puzzle I wasn’t sure I wanted him to figure out.I shifted uncomfortably, feeling the weight of his touch, the overwhelming pull of his proximity. “I’m just... busy.”“Busy pretending,” he added, and there was a subtle bite t

    CassiusI sat alone in my father’s office—no, my office now. The air felt colder than usual, like the walls themselves knew the weight of the title that had just been dropped on me. Tonight, I’d be crowned Alpha. Everyone expected me to celebrate, to raise a glass, to smile like I wasn’t dying inside.But I didn’t want celebration. I wanted silence.All my life, I’d been trained to take this position. I’d been molded, beaten, shaped into the perfect heir. And now, sitting in the chair my father ruled from for decades, I realized how little I knew about the truth of our pack. The secrets. The rot underneath the polished floors. The lies they never told me because they thought I didn’t need to know.I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the desk, and ran a hand through my hair, dragging it over my face with a sigh. The wood beneath my arms felt unfamiliar. Wrong. My skin crawled, like it knew this seat belonged to a man whose shadow I couldn’t escape. No matter how much blood I spilled
